So what kind of cable would you use to connect the Rock64 to the other computer (i.e., any of my desktop systems)?
- The OTG port of the Rock64 is a USB Type A Female socket.
- All of the USB ports on my desktop systems USB Type A Female sockets.
TIA!
You are correct in your observations.
You need a USB Type A Male-Male cable. Then you can flash the eMMC with a utility like rkflashtool.
